More from FaceBookCampToronto: BYOB, FQL, and WLM
Continuing our conservation on things I learnt at FaceBookCampToronto…
As it turns out, developers are responsible for providing their own server for their Facebook application. I had simply assumed applications would be hosted directly on the Facebook servers either in sandboxed partitions or on separate dedicated servers sharing the same high-speed network. It appears Facebook has a BYOB policy (“Bring Your Own Box”).
In addition to APIs, the Facebook Platform allows developers to access user data using an SQL-like query language called Facebook Query Language (FQL). Compared with SQL, FQL has a number of noticeable limitations.
